Once you have booked in an appointment with us at Allen Family Chiropractic, you will receive a link to fill in our Initial Consultation Form and Consent Form, which allows you to provide necessary information to the chiropractor about the reason for your visit. If you are unable to fill in the form digitally, you can fill the form in when you arrive for your appointment.

The first visit

There are 4 parts to the initial consultation:

  1. Discussion - where we talk about the reasons for your visit and well as you past and current health history, as well as outline your health goals

  2. Assessment - A thorough physical examination to help understand the cause of your complaint as well as measure the function of your spine and body. The need for further investigation (for example X-Ray, MRI) will also be evaluated

  3. Treatment - At Allen Family Chiropractic patients will receive an adjustment at their first visit provided the results of the physical exam deem it appropriate to proceed

  4. ​Advice - Our chiropractors will provide you with the appropriate advice on how to get the best out of chiropractic care. This includes recommended treatment plan, home advice (exercises, stretches) and lifestyle tips. 

 

At Allen Family Chiropractic our approach is to encourage and work along side our patients. Patients who attend our practice will not be forced to ''sign up'' to any care plans, as we strive to empower our patients to improve their own health.
